Irregularities throughout your plumbing system may indicate a sewer line problem. It’s difficult to tell what’s wrong without a video camera inspection.
The plumbers at Apex Pros use state-of-the-art equipment to provide comprehensive drain and sewer line camera inspections in Dayton, Ohio. They can find blockages and diagnose other issues causing multiple drains to clog or your yard to flood. There are many potential culprits, from cooking grease to hair and soap to tree roots. These are often hidden deep in an underground drain or sewer line.
We’ve performed thousands of plumbing camera inspections across the Dayton metro area. Accurate detection of sewer line issues lets our plumbers find effective solutions to your plumbing troubles. Our 5 Star Reviews are proof of how effective our process is.
Understanding Sewer Camera Inspections: How They Work
During a sewer line inspection, a waterproof, high-resolution camera is inserted into a drain or access point, such as a cleanout near your foundation. The camera is attached to a long, flexible cable (similar to a drain snake) that allows the technician to move it long distances through the system. It relays images to a display so a technician can analyze them.
The footage is transmitted in real time, and the system can track the location of any blockages or damage found. Once our plumbers view the images, they can determine how to address the problem.
The most common issues we find with a sewer line camera inspection in Dayton include:
- Cracked or crushed pipes
- Leaking pipe connections
- Pipe corrosion and deterioration
- Mineral buildup
- Accumulated waste
- Tree root intrusion
By seeing the problem directly, the technicians at Apex Pros can recommend and explain the best repair options. Oftentimes, they can perform repairs without digging up your yard or lawn.
Signs You Need a Sewer Camera Inspection
The most common reasons to have a sewer pipe inspected include the following plumbing issues:
- Slow Drains: Slow drainage, especially if it involves multiple sinks, showers, and other plumbing fixtures, often means a main sewer line is obstructed, leaking, or has collapsed.
- Strong, Unpleasant Odors: If wastewater doesn’t flow properly or backs up, foul odors can come from a sink, tub, toilet, or any part of your drainage system.
- Water Backups: Schedule a sewer camera inspection if wastewater backs up from any drain in your home; a backup may be preceded by odors and gurgling noises from drains.
- Clogged Toilets: If your toilets clog repeatedly, no matter how much you plunge or snake them, a sewer line blockage may be preventing them from draining properly.
- Low Water Pressure: A clogged or leaking sewer line can cause disruptions throughout your plumbing system, leading to a reduction in water pressure.
- High Water Bills: A damaged sewer line can waste a lot of water, so the issue may manifest as an increase in usage on your water meter, which translates to higher water bills.
Our Sewer Camera Inspection Process
When you schedule a sewer camera or drain camera inspection in Dayton, our technicians arrive on time with the equipment they need. They can access the sewer line from a drain, manhole, or cleanout.

Benefits of Regular Sewer Camera Inspections
Using sewer cameras to perform inspections is a highly effective process. It’s a good idea if you’re having plumbing problems or considering purchasing a new home.
Here are some of the greatest advantages of a Dayton sewer camera inspection:
- Fast, Accurate Diagnosis: Camera inspections let plumbers immediately identify clogs, cracks, or tree roots. The location and extent of the problem can also be determined.
- No Excavation Needed: Plumbers can access the sewer line without excavating the ground above it, which saves time, reduces costs, and minimizes disruptions.
- Reduced Risk of Damage: There’s no digging, so no risk of causing further damage to the sewer line, and potential issues (such as small leaks) can be found quickly, before they require more extensive repairs.
- Prevents Unnecessary Work: Without a camera inspection, a plumber may have to guess where a problem is and dig in random places, which is costly and time-consuming.
- Preventative Sewer Maintenance: Performing pipe inspections in Dayton using cameras helps assess the condition of sewer lines. If necessary, our contractors can recommend repairing or replacing them.
